text: SPDR Gold Trust Gold has lost some of its glimmer in the last few months, as a pullback from all-time highs made goldbugs question how much higher their favorite metal could go. But a bullish setup in the SPDR Gold Trust ( GLD) could mean significant upside for gold prices in the next few months. Here's how. GLD is currently forming an inverse head and shoulders pattern, a setup that indicates exhaustion among sellers. The buy signal comes when GLD breaks out above the pattern's neckline, currently right around $172.50. Bear in mind that this is a very long-term pattern (it's been forming since September) - so it's crucial not to be early on this trade. While waiting means giving up some potential gains on this trade, it also means avoiding the vast majority of risk. Even though the head-and-shoulders (and its inverse) is likely the most well known technical pattern, it's still a valuable one: an academic study conducted by the Federal Reserve Board of New York found that the results of 10,000 computer-simulated head-and-shoulders trades resulted in "profits that would have been both statistically and economically significant." That's a good reason to keep an eye on gold prices in 2012. Prev 4 of 6 Next

Well all of you who like to run doctors down can look to another dr now, this one has passed away. He was a great surgeon RIP
Dr Bodiford performed my cataract removal / lens replacement surgery at the Hannibal Vision Institute (2012). However, he implanted the WRONG lens (near-focus) and scarred my eye surface. I was referred to him by my family optometrist (Dr Wolber), but his recommended distance-focus lens implant was ignored. Dr Bodiford said he used accepted procedures, and I should expect up to a year for vision improvement! After visiting eye specialists, there was no safe recourse to replace the lens or fix the scar. Hospital management agreed to address my issue with a contact lens, but my vision remains worse than before my cataract was removed. Dr Bodiford is no longer employed by Hannibal Regional Hospital.
Hate that he is not in Fort Smith anymore. Fort Smith lost a great caring doctor.
Mild cataracts requiring surgery. Began with 20/40 vision...4 months later and after 3 separate surgeries on my left eye, my vision is terrible...probably legally blind in that eye. The problems are probably due to swelling from the many surgeries to correct a decentered and folded lens originally....from what I've read, it could take up to two years to regain my vision.A visit to a retina specialist hopefully will answer that question.Bodiford is a charming man but short on information. Hasty to do surgery and not very forthcoming when it comes to explaining problems.
Great experience with having cataract surgery on my family member.
I had LASIK done by Dr. Bodiford about a month ago and it has been amazing. I would recommend it to anybody, the price is lowest in the area because they have their own equipment.
I went to see Dr. Bodiford because I was experiencing double vision. He had successfully performed RK surgery on my left eye 14 years ago and did a fantastic job. I expected the same attention but was very disappointed. He said I had cataracts, but my opptometrist told me they were not ripe just two weeks before. He said it didn't make that much difference and assured me it would be fine. A week later he removed the cataract on my right eye. However, he never explained to me the procedure nor the risks and made it seem so simple. The day after the surgery (and for three straight days) I could not see a thing because of a swollen cornear. Apparently there were some things he failed to do or he did not exmanine me thoroughly. For three months I had blurred vision. I had to go see a doctor in Little Rock to examine the cornea for damage. Luckily, I did not have to have a cornea transplant. Now I have my vision back but it took about six months to adjust. I would not have had it done if I had known the difficult time I would have. I was not having trouble with foggy vision before, just some double vision, which did not go away.

An Advertising Legend Is Ready for Her Comeback
Published: May 27, 2002
(Page 2 of 2)
It was one of the fastest and most humiliating riches-to-rags reversals in Madison Avenue history. And the collapse clearly still rankles Ms. Wells Lawrence because it threatens to diminish her legacy.
In her book, and in interviews, she makes little effort to hide her withering contempt for the French executives who she thinks mismanaged her company.
''In the beginning, I thought it would work, that it would take time, but it would work,'' Ms. Wells Lawrence said of the sale.
But the French executives ''never understood that if they were willing to go to the lengths they did to have it, they should have tried to understand what built it,'' Ms. Wells Lawrence said. ''Their being French had a lot to do with it. The French don't like to travel. They think the birds sing better in France, the trees are better, the food is better'' -- and they think ''the United States is primitive.''
The executive who then headed BDDP was Jean-Marie Dru, now the chief executive of the TBWA Worldwide division of the Omnicom Group. Asked to respond to Ms. Wells Lawrence, he began diplomatically, describing Wells Rich Greene as ''one of the most creative agencies of the century'' along with Doyle Dane Bernbach and Chiat/Day.
''Having said that,'' Mr. Dru continued, ''when we bought W.R.G., the talent and the spirit that had been the foundation of the agency had disappeared because Mary had been gone for so long. I think that Mary's book was clearly a way of revisiting and romanticizing the past.''
Ms. Wells Lawrence does not agree that she is living in the past. The usually forthcoming Ms. Wells Lawrence politely but firmly declined to identify possible clients, but said she fervently believes her ideas are still relevant. What worked then, and will work again, she said, is taking a product and making people ''want it, and feel nervous if they don't have it.''
Some executives in the industry are not so sure. Ms. Wells Lawrence's return may prove to be as unsuccessful as that of Norma Desmond, the silent-film star in ''Sunset Boulevard'' who was shunned when she sought to return to the movies because she was deemed incapable of adapting to a new Hollywood.
''In any industry, the business changes,'' said the chief executive of a large New York agency, an admirer of Ms. Wells Lawrence's work but not a contemporary. ''It's not an age issue, but it's a long time to be away.''
A longtime colleague of Ms. Wells Lawrence's is more sanguine about her prospects.
''Today's world is totally, totally different,'' said Charlie Moss, the chief creative executive at Wells Rich Greene who is now chairman at Moss/Dragoti in New York, an agency owned by Omnicom. ''But she's so smart, she could make a difference.''
''Mary always kept it exciting and a lot of fun,'' Mr. Moss added, ''and when things got too routine, she found a way to throw it all up in the air and make it exciting again.''
It is that excitement which Ms. Wells Lawrence appears to crave. ''I never stopped, I never stopped, I never stopped'' being interested in the business, Ms. Wells Lawrence said, leaning forward in her seat. ''It was my life, and I knew everybody in it. I still have the scent.''
Photos: In its heyday, Mary Wells Lawrence's agency helped create memorable advertising slogans like ''I NY'' and ''Plop, Plop, Fizz, Fizz.'' (Aaron Lee Fineman for The New York Times)(pg. C1); In addition to being catchy, the Alka-Seltzer tag line encouraged consumers to ''plop'' twice as much product. (pg. C6)

Widely respected and instantly recognisable (with his characteristic of nodding gently before raising the dreaded finger), "Slow Death Bucknor" umpired in 128 Test matches, more than anyone else. He broke Dickie Bird's record of 66 in 2002, before in March 2005 becoming the first umpire to stand in 100 Tests. Only David Shepherd and Rudi Koertzen have umpired more than his 181 ODIs, while Bucknor also stood in five successive World Cup finals (1992 to 2007), the middle three with Shepherd.
Bucknor's original conversion to umpiring was due in part to his own playing experience in his native Montego Bay, where repeatedly incorrect decisions prompted him to don the white coat in the cause of fairness. The habit of taking his time has been there from the outset. "I have never been hasty to make decisions," he said. "And, by nature, I like to take my time to do things. Patience is a virtue for me. I don't know how many other umpires believe it's a good way to do it. But I'm happy with the method and hopefully others will also take their time to make important decisions."
Bucknor's rise to international status was rapid. His appointment for the 1992 World Cup final followed just four Tests and a handful of one-day internationals. At six foot three he has a commanding view of proceedings, and he can also draw on his experience of football, where he refereed in a World Cup qualifier. Throughout his career he took nothing for granted and is a man of routine, from his usual early-morning routine - exercises, a verse from the Bible and the morning papers - before arriving at the ground in good time.
His career could well have been extended further as he was not scheduled to retire until 2011, but in his final years a punishing workload began to take its toll and a few high-profile errors tarnished a previously unblemished reputation - not least his role in misinterpreting the rules regarding bad light, which caused the farcical finish to the World Cup final in April 2007 and led to his suspension for the Twenty20 World Championships in September. Things turned progressively worse in the following months, when he was removed by the ICC from officiating in the third Test between Australia and India in Perth after several contentious decisions contributed to India's defeat in the second Test in Sydney in January 2008.

Pakistan, press-ups and national redemption
The themes of redemption and rehabilitation had been a constant companion for Pakistan in the build-up to what proved to be an epic first Test, but it was only in that moment of victory that the true significance of their 75-run win could be understood
Pakistan's thrilling triumph at Lord's was underscored by their captain's serenity

Experimental results concerning electrical conduction through the main Cu2S film grown on copper samples in a reaction chamber (10 p.p.m. of H2S) are reported. The study was based on the analysis of the current-voltage characteristics of the contact point using a fully automatic device which avoids electrical or mechanical breakdowns. It is shown that the contact point has an equivalent circuit composed of a diode, thermoelectric voltage, and contact resistance. The diode parameters resulting from the junction between Cu2S (semiconductor) and copper (metal) are determined. A relationship between reverse current density and the thickness of the film (100 to 5000 Å) is reported to explain and predict film breakdown

The 15 Colleges Whose Alumni Made The Most Money In The NBA This Year
7. Kansas: $53,882,138 – 13 players
Despite being in the twilight of his career, Paul Pierce ($16.8 million) still brings in some serious cash. After Pierce, the Jawhawks have a laundry list of NBA players who are good contributors, but not superstars. Drew Gooden, Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers, Kirk Hinrich, Thomas Robinson, and Nick Collison are just some examples. The Morris twins, recently draftees, also made around $2 million apiece.
6. Arizona: $54,482,173 – 9 players
Andre Iguodala made almost $15 million this year, and Richard Jefferson somehow still made over $10 million. But the real shocker is that Luke Walton pulled in over $6 million this past season. Channing Frye, Jason Terry and Derrick Williams also made betwen $5 million and $6 million each.
5. UCLA: $56,905,864 – 11 players
UCLA's two superstars, Russell Westbrook ($13.7 million) and Kevin Love ($13.7 million) account for almost half of the Bruins' total salary in the NBA. Arron Afflalo and Trevor Ariza made over $7 million each, while Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, Jrue Holiday, Darren Collison and Earl Watson all pulled in between $2 million and $5 million last season.
4. Kentucky: $61,882,315 – 20 players
Two Kentucky stars from prior regimes had the highest salaries of former Wildcats in the NBA this past season – Rajon Rondo ($11 million) and Tayshaun Prince ($6.7 million). While UK has 18 other players in the league, the majority were drafted in the past three seasons and are still under their rookie contracts. In the next few years, expect Kentucky to move up this list.
3. Florida: $61,998,530 – 10 players
The three-headed monster of David Lee, Al Horford and Joakim Noah made a combined $36 million this past year, which is more than all but eleven schools' total numbers. Other former Gators who are key contributors are Mike Miller, Marreese Speights, Bradley Beal and Udonis Haslem.
2. Connecticut: $76,047,203 – 13 players
UConn has five players who made over $8 million in 2012-2013 – Rudy Gay, Emeka Okafor, Ben Gordon, Charlie Villanueva and Caron Butler. A few of their older stars, namely Richard Hamilton and Ray Allen, have begun the ring-chasing phase of their careers, and their salaries reflect such. The Huskies were just over $1 million from actually checking in No. 1 on our list.
1. Duke: $77,244,780 – 18 players
While Duke isn't looked at as a one-and-done type of school, Coach K certainly knows how to develop his guys into NBA-caliber players. Carlos Boozer, Luol Deng and Corey Maggette all made over $10 million. J.J. Redick, Chris Duhon, Josh McRoberts and Shane Battier all made between $3 million and $7 million. The scary part? Kyrie Irving, one of the NBA's next superstars, only made $5.3 million. That will change when his rookie contract expires.

Veruca James: Porn Star Bio
Growing up in Chicago, Veruca James attended DePaul University after graduating from high school—DePaul bills itself as the largest Catholic college in the nation. She graduated with a double major in accounting and finance; that's right—this black haired beauty was a CPA before she began performing in XXX movies. In an interview with LA Weekly in 2013, just 2 short years after her porn debut, Veruca had this to say about her former career choice, "I would go in to work on Sunday at 4 p.m. because my manager decided that some paper required more meticulous authorization," she says, "and I would come home bawling my eyes out. I hated putting in that much work for something that did nothing for me, for anyone else; that was all just paperwork." Around the same time, after one year of marriage, she and her husband of the time split up.
Vanilla to Hardcore
Her marriage over and having just quit her job, Veruca moved back to Chicago. She started hanging out at new bars and meeting people who were living alternative lifestyles. "I come from such a conservative background that it was like, 'Oh my God, I met a porn star! And a stripper!' Which in the Midwest is a really crazy thing," she described. Initially shocked to encounter adult performers in person, she quickly realized, "'Oh, you're around everywhere. You're ... people,'" and became friends with a few women who worked for Burning Angel; and her curiosity got the best of her. She applied online and with just a simple form and a few nude photos; she got a call from the company saying they were interested and she was elated at the offer. Veruca had always considered herself an exhibitionist, and felt that she had lost something of herself in her average 9-5 job and vanilla lifestyle; she accepted Burning Angel's offer and shot her first scene—an anal scene—and fell in love with performing. She shot about 10 more scenes in Chicago before realizing that she had a decision to make: either quit now, or move forward with it and never look back. So she decided to continue performing porn; it was a new way of life and she felt she belonged there. "I wake up every day just excited to work and to be around the people I'm around," she has said.
Career and Goals
James has gone on to perform in hundreds of movies over the course of her career in the porn biz, working with some of the biggest studios in the industry, including: Vivid, Evil Angel, Hush Hush Entertainment, Kink.com, and many more. She is a bright girl and fully understands that performing is not something that will last forever, noting that there will come a time when people, "[...]don't want to see you naked," she says, adding, "I'd like to start building a more diversified portfolio. Eventually I'd like to have my own company, and do my own shooting. Something where I could keep my own books."

Just how do the two new Apple iPhones stack up against last year's model?
See how Apple's two new iPhones stack up against last year's number.
Its colourful, pocket-friendly body and easy to use software makes the iPhone 5C a good choice for smart phone novices, but with only a small price gap between this and the considerably more powerful 5S, the 5C isn't the budget iPhone we hoped it would be.
With an identical design to its predecessor, and the same software you can now get on most iPhones, the iPhone 5S doesn't really offer enough to justify upgrading from the iPhone 5. If you're on older iPhones though -- or you're looking to take your first steps into Apple's world -- its astonishing power, excellent camera and fingerprint scanner make it a great option to consider.

HJC CL - Max 2 Modular Helmet Reviewby Robert Wilson - verified purchaser
This was my first order from Jafrum and won't be my last. The helmet arrived MUCH faster than I was expecting, was encased in bubble wrap, and was in excellent condition. It was easy for me to install the intercom headset in it and the outside windnoise was not bad. I am very pleased with the helmet, the reasonable price, and, again, the speediness of getting it to my house. GREAT JOB JAFRUM!!!
HJC CL MAX2 Helmet Reviewby Anne Rohrer - verified purchaser
I bought this for my husband for father's day. He's been talking about it for a while so I was glad to find the HJC. Size was perfect without the cheek pads. He really likes being able to have full protection but with the option to open only the faceshield. I will have to order the smoke shield as he wants more protection from the sun glare.
HJC Modular helmentby Jim Robbins - verified purchaser
Excellent product - it was difficult to find a helmet that i could wear my glasses with. i choose matte black and am pleased. very little vibration of the shield at road speed. shipping time was unbelievable; only 3 days from order. also ordered a smoked visor for it a week later. works great and easy to install.
Love the Helmetby Tina - verified purchaser
We got the matte black and it looks awesome! Love the flip up front! I've always liked HJC Helmets and this is just what I expected from them. The price was amazing and shipping was fast. Will definitely order from Jafrum again!
HJC CL Max2 Helmetby Cindy - verified purchaser
This helmet has changed my riding experience! I am strictly a back seat rider and sit way above the wind shield and husband's head. I had an open faced helmet prior and was constantly fighting eye allergies. I also had to hold on to the side of the helmet to look sideways on windy days and at any speeds over 50 mph. The aerodynamics of this helmet make it almost seem like you are not wearing it. I also love being able to lift the face mask to keep cooler at long lights and to be able to talk to my husband. The space in front of the face is a plus in my opinion, as it keeps it cooler. I'll wear a baclava when temps drop. The only negative I have is the visor that comes with the helmet is clear. I changed the visor to a mirrored blue as the clear allowed in too much sun glare and the helmet is too snug to wear sun glasses. Sizing on the chart was accurate.
HJC CL-Max 2 Solid Helmetby Dan - verified purchaser
I have ridden in summer and winter. Left the house at 16 degrees. Had to leave shield cracked open to keep from fogging totally. Helmet is somewhat noisy but for the price ok. When it is time for a new one I would consider the HJC again.

"Barack Obama was elected president in 2008 because he was not George W. Bush. In fact, he was elected because he was the farthest thing possible from Mr. Bush. On some level he knew this, which is why every time he got in trouble he'd say Bush's name. It's all his fault, you have no idea the mess I inherited. As long as Mr. Bush's memory was hovering like Boo Radley in the shadows, Mr. Obama would be OK."
"This week something changed. George W. Bush is back, for the unveiling of his presidential library. His numbers are dramatically up. You know why? Because he's the farthest thing from Barack Obama."
"Obama fatigue has opened the way to Bush affection."

"Shortly after Barack Obama was elected in 2008, a fellow reporter whod covered President George W. Bush all eight years told me shed had enough of the travel and stress and strain of the White House beat, that she was moving on."
"We reminisced about all the places wed been, all the crazy days and wild nights, all the history wed seen first hand. Just before we said our goodbyes, I asked her if shed miss covering President Obama."
'Not at all. Hes an inch deep. Bush is a bottomless chasm, a deep, mysterious, emotional, profound man. Obama is all surface shallow, obvious, robotic, and, frankly, not nearly as smart as he thinks. Bush was the one.'

An Ode to Bush
Of Thursday's dedication of the George W. Bush presidential library, NPR headlines an article that details how President "Obama's Bush Library Speech Leaves Iraq And More Unspoken."
Most Americans of both parties have, over the years, appeared to have adopted the attitude that the stolen election of 2000 is something the nation has gotten over. But it's hard not to underscore that the George W. Bush presidential library is really a fraud.
After all, Bush was never elected president. On the 10th anniversary of his anointment by the Supreme Court, and particularly by the stay of the Florida state-mandated recount by Antonin Scalia a long-time buddy of Dick Cheney and rabid right wing partisan. In 2010, Eric Alterman recounted just some of the machinations that led to an election that was stolen even before the votes were cast (which was done with a number of voter suppression strategies, including the purging of tens of thousands of largely minority voters in Florida done by a firm called ChoicePoint) on the tenth anniversary of the legalized putsch.
The coup was openly revealed in Scalia's infamous stay of a state-mandated recount (Bush, by the way, as governor of Texas signed a bill that would have made a recount in Florida automatic if the vote were as close in Texas as it officially was in the Sunshine State) when he stated that a recount "threatens irreperable harm to [Bush] and to the country, by casting a cloud upon what he claims to be the legitimacy of his election." In short, Scalia is saying that if Bush lost after a recount it would hurt his reputation as president since the Supreme Court would install him in the White House no matter what the voters decided in Florida.(Remember that Al Gore won the national popular vote by more than 540,000 votes.)

An Ode to Bush
WHAT IF...Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld had done nothing, and allowed Richard Clarke & Company to continue their pursuit of Osama bin Laden? What if Bush had paid attention to those warnings (as Clinton did)? 9-11 might well have been averted.
WHAT IF...Bush had valued what he inherited -- a balanced budget -- and DONE NOTHING. No massive tax cuts benefiting the top 1/10th of 1 percent. No massive deficits. 8 years -- budget still balanced, instead of trillions in new debt and a tax code designed to make the government untenable without savaging the social safety net.
WHAT IF...Bush had treated FEMA as a serious agency with a vital role to play in national emergencies? What if he'd appointed a serious administrator, instead of an incompetent crony bent on looting the agency and wrecking its ability to function properly? Katrina might have turned out quite differently.
WHAT IF...Bush had hadn't worked overtime to destroy the regulation of financial markets? What if he'd DONE NOTHING, and let regulatory agencies do their proper work? The financial crash of 2007-8 might never have happened.
WHAT IF...most importantly...Bush/Cheney/Rums feld hadn't conjured stove-piped "intel" to stampede us into war after 9-11? No trillion dollar wars, shoveled onto the spiraling national debt...no thousands of American soldiers killed...no hundreds of thousands of Iraqis killed...no Abu Ghraib...no disillusionment of the American public in our ability to fight and win wars...

An Ode to Bush
It is a well-known syndrome in alcoholic and/or abusive families that the child runs to the abusive parent, and makes excuses for him or her. In fact there are a whole set of syndromes afflicting the poor adults who lived through that horror as children.
The fawning interviews attending the opening of the George W. Bush presidential library, for the least bookish of all our presidents, struck me as having a lot of resemblance to those syndromes. America has a problem holding its high elected officials to account. A republic as the founding generation envisaged it is a collective of equals. We have no king, no one who is above the law. Some of us serve the public through elective office for a while. If we do it honorably we get thanks. If we do it dishonorably, we should be tried for our crimes or at the very least suffer opprobrium in polite society. The emergence of the imperial presidency in the twentieth century and until now is an affront to those republican values, a descent into empire and monarchy and lack of accountability. For ex-presidents everything is forgiven over time. We named the airport in our national capital for a man who sold weapons stolen from Pentagon warehouses to Ayatollah Khomeini at at time the latter was on a terror watch list, and used the black money thus gained to support right wing death squads in Central America. We let a war criminal pronounce himself comfortable with his crimes against humanity.
1. Adult constituents of abusive ex-presidents lie when it would be just as easy to tell the truth. They have to constantly make excuses for the criminal behavior of their ex-president. For instance, it is often alleged that all international intelligence agencies agreed with the Bush administration that Iraq had weapons mass destruction. But the French did not, and the Germans had serious questions. It is not true, just a lie that we are forced to tell in order to protect an war-addicted president. Likewise, they often maintain that WMD actually was found in Iraq (wrong) or that it was moved to Syria (not true) or that Saddam Hussein was tied to al-Qaeda (false). Or they may downplay the number of Iraqis killed as a result of the illegal US invasion.

An Ode to Bush.
George W. Bush presided over an international network of torture chambers and, with the help of a compliant Congress and press, launched a war of aggression that killed hundreds of thousands of men, women and children. However, instead of the bloody details of his time in office being recounted at a war crimes tribunal, the former president has been able to bank on his imperial privilege and a network of rich corporate donors that he made richer while in office to tell his version of history at a library in Texas being opened in his name.
Kill a few, they call you a murderer. Kill tens of thousands, they give you $500 million for a granite vanity project and a glossy 30-page supplement in the local paper.
Before getting into that, some facts. According to the US government, more than 100,000 people died following the 2003 invasion of Iraq; of that number, 4,486 were members of the US military. So far, the wars started by Bush and continued by his heir, Barack Obama, have cost upwards of $3.1 trillion. Thats money that could have been spent saving lives and building things, not ending and destroying them.
But thats not going to be the narrative at the George W. Bush Presidential Library, opening this week in Dallas, Texas. No, thats going to be: 9/11, 9/11, 9/11 (see also: 9/11).
Called the "Day of Fire," a main attraction at the new library will be a display on the events of September 11, 2001, where "video images from the attacks flash around a twisted metal beam recovered from the wreckage of the World Trade Center," according to the Associated Press.
"It's very emotional and very profound," Bush explained in an interview. "One of the reasons it has to be is because memories are fading rapidly and the profound impact of that attack is becoming dim with time." That is to say, the former president has a keen interest in fanning the embers of outrage over the killing of nearly 3,000 Americans more than a decade ago lest the world view him poorly for the dozens of 9/11s he perpetrated not just on Iraq, but Afghanistan. Never forget the harm done to us or you just might remember the harm we inflicted on others.
The corporate media doesn't want you to remember those depressing and damning details either. In a supplement that reads as a paid advertisement, The Dallas Morning News calls Bush's new library, "A place to learn," featuring a silky soft interview with the former first lady, Laura Bush, and an editorial that states that her husband "stands out as a leader whose convictions guided him."
#1716 May 2, 2013
Yet the NY Times and other liberal papers (who certainly weren't fans of Bush or the Republicans) conducted an exhaustive investigation after the election, and found that Bush won legitimately anyway, despite all the distraction about the court rulings. Look it up yourself, if you dare,

An Ode to Bush.....
What do these numbers and countries mean?
In 2002 Karachi, Pakistan; 2004, Uzbekistan; 2004, Saudi Arabia; 2006, Syria; 2007, Athens; 2008, Serbia; 2008, Yemen.
No, it's not a puzzle, but given the current nature of our political discourse, the story behind it will no doubt puzzle you.
Listed above are the years and countries where United States' Embassies were attacked under our previous commander-in-chief, George W. Bush. I found this to be quite revealing given the all out "hair on fire" witch hunt that is currently taking place amongst conservative pundits and Republicans in Congress over the embassy attack in Benghazi, Libya last year. Now, I will be the first to say that even one person killed in an attack on our embassies is too many, but the fact that seven (count 'em SEVEN!) embassies were attacked and many people killed under the previous Republican administration and we heard nary a word of dismay is more than puzzling, it's downright unbelievable!
Now where does the Republican hero of heroes stand on the attack meter? There were three embassy attacks during Ronald Reagan's presidency, two in 1983 - Beirut (more than 60 killed including 17 Americans) and Kuwait - and one in 1987 in Italy.
In fact, history shows that each of the presidents of the past few decades have had to deal with embassy attacks and bombings. For some reason, I don't ever recall there being so much unrest following an attack as there is now under President Obama.
I guess what really sent me reeling was today when I read about Mike Huckabee's well-crafted remarks on the radio that "Benghazi will be Obama's Watergate" and "this President will not fill out his full term". Excuse me? Let me get this straight. Not only did 9/11 happen on Bush's watch, but seven embassy attacks and Obama is the one that will be ousted? Huckabee claimed that the so-called Benghazi "cover-up" was worse than Watergate "because no one died." Well, I have one question for Mr. Huckabee: How many people died because of the Iraq War "weapons of mass destruction" cover-up? How many American soldiers gave their lives for a war of choice built on exaggeration, manipulation and outright lies? Is that worse than Watergate?
But see, we can't mention that because Bush "kept us safe" remember? Sorry, but if you think that's safe then I have a bridge in San Francisco I want to sell you.
I agree that there may still be some questions that need to be answered regarding the attacks in Benghazi and the families of those who died who have questions deserve to have their questions answered. However, the level of vitriol that is coming out of the Right because of these attacks is undeniably partisan and disgusting.
What's even more outrageous is that absolutely no one is discussing the fact that it was the House Republicans who cut $300 million from the Obama administration's US embassy security budget not long before the embassy attack in Benghazi took place. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), who is one of the Republicans bravely leading the Benghazi charge, didn't seem too concerned about the embassy in Libya last year when he made the following statement on CNN in an interview with Soledad O'Brien.
#1718 May 9, 2013
How many of those previous attacks occurred over a period of 9 hours, in which calls for help were ignored by the Administration? Most of them were hit and run bombings and shootings, which were over in minutes. You're comparing apples and oranges.

You're comparing apples and oranges. Those previous attacks were hit and run bombings and shootings, which were over in minutes. Benghazi involved attacks over 9 hours, on a facility that was the subject of previous warnings about it's vulnerability, and where urgent calls for help were ignored.

Georgetown University professor and MSNBC contributor Michael Eric Dyson revealed on MSNBCs Now on Wednesday that he has been the target of political intimidation by the Internal Revenue Service during the administration of President George W. Bush. Dyson claimed that, after criticizing Bush on television for his governments response to Hurricane Katrina, he was audited for five consecutive years by the IRS.
In a discussion about the unfolding scandal in which IRS agents are implicated in forcing conservative groups to undergo more scrutiny in requests for tax-exempt status than liberal groups, the MSNBC panel agreed that added scrutiny across the board would be welcome.
The conversation shifted to the scandal surrounding the Justice Departments unilateral seizure of telephone records from the Associated Press.

Ahhhhh, the hypocrisy of those silly Republicans.
You didn't hear a peep out of those fruit loops when the NAACP was audited from 2004 - 2006 after then NAACP President, Julian Bond criticized GWB for getting American into an unjust war with Iraq based on lies of Iraq having WMD's.
The Republicans are hypocrites and two bit phonies because they have nothing to run on in the mid term elections of 2014.

An Ode to BUSH
There have been nine public hearings and countless hours of commentary about the so-called Benghazi cover-up really some bureaucratic back-and-forth about talking points for a second-tier officials appearance on TV. But none of the outraged members of Congress or the news media seems to have any idea what a real cover-up looks like.
In 2011, I gained access to files at the George H.W. Bush library in College Station, Texas, showing how Bushs White House reacted to allegations in 1991 that he had joined in an operation in 1980 to sabotage President Jimmy Carters negotiations to free 52 American hostages then held in Iran.
What those files revealed was how to run a cover-up! Its framework was set on Nov. 6, 1991, by White House Counsel C. Boyden Gray, who explained to an inter-agency strategy session how to contain and frustrate a congressional investigation into the so-called October Surprise case. The explicit goal was to insure the scandal would not hurt President Bushs reelection hopes in 1992.
Grays strategy session followed by two days the White House receiving evidence from the State Department that a key fact in the October Surprise allegations had been verified. Ronald Reagans 1980 campaign director, William Casey, indeed had traveled on a mysterious trip to Madrid, just as one of the central witnesses had claimed.
The confirmation was passed along by State Department legal adviser Edwin D. Williamson, who said that among the State Department material potentially relevant to the October Surprise allegations [was] a cable from the Madrid embassy indicating that Bill Casey was in town, for purposes unknown. Associate White House counsel Chester Paul Beach Jr. Beach noted Williamsons information in a memorandum for record dated Nov. 4, 1991.

An Ode to Bush
Fox News had a gotcha moment go wrong, when Sen. Dick Durbin explained why Karl Rove deserves to be investigated by the IRS.
Transcript via Fox News Sunday:
WALLACE: Senator Durbin, I want to pick up on this culture. Starting in 2010, a number of Democratic senators Democrat senators sent letters to the IRS asking them to investigate various groups that they said were seeking tax-exempt status, but were improperly involved in politics. Now, in October 2010, you sent a letter to the IRS in which you talked about going after groups.
But you only mentioned one specifically by name and I want to put this up from the October 2010 letter that you wrote to the IRS,One organization whose activities appear to be inconsistent with the tax status is Crossroads GPS. That, of course, a group co-founded by Karl Rove.
Question, Senator why single out Crossroads when you did not mention one single liberal group, and there were a bunch that were applying for that exempt-status exactly that point, with the name progress in their names?
DURBIN: I can just tell you flat out why I did it, because that Crossroads organization was boasting about the money they were raising as a 501(c)(4).
Lets get back to the basics. Citizens United really unleashed hundreds, if not thousands, of organizations seeking tax-exempt statuses to play in political campaigns. The law we wrote as Congress said that they had to exclusively be engaged in social welfare and not politics and campaigning.
And so, here is the IRS trying to decide whether or not these organizations really comply with the law. Crossroads was exhibit A. They were boastful about how much the money they were going to raise and beat Democrats.

Out side of the fact this is one of the most affordable and comfortable bed and breakfast we've ever been to; the owners are extremely polite and personable. Breakfast is really good, the rooms are nice and spacious/comfy. The bed is super soft and comfy... They have a nice fireplace and beautiful scenery as you look out into the countryside. Our specific room had a hot tub in the bathroom with a nice serene lighting and excellent privacy. Its like being at home.. Can't wait to go again for our anniversary.

Rooms were bigger and nicer than expected but could use some updating and repair. There were some settlement cracks in the ceiling and some caulking around tubs could use refreshing. These are small things in comparison. We had a wonderful time and the Brightwood Inn was an incredible place! The caretakers were wonderful and the food was good. A very homey place. My wife didn't want to leave! I highly recommend it!

Dear Mark: Amino Acid Supplements, Preventing an Infection, and Knee Pain in a Lunging Athlete
For today's edition of Dear Mark, I'm answering three questions. First, are the amino acid supplements sarcosine, D-serine, and D-cycloserine worth taking? What do they do and who can they help? Next, what should you do to prevent an infection? Besides the regular stuff like vitamin C and vitamin D, is there anything else to take to mitigate the damage and prevent pathogenic incursions? And finally, I field a question from a fencer and martial artist who's feeling the beginning twinges of knee pain. He leads a lunge-heavy life—it's an inescapable part of his training—and I offer a few suggestions for limiting the damage.
Let's go:

Comes with Windows 8, a disaster for anyone without smart phones and ipads, who is not and will not be familiar with touch screen control. Luckily free software will bring you back to a Windows interface, and you can scrap the apps for real programs with real interfaces.
Shifting keyboard from English to French and back, fairly involved process, not well explained.
Left side shift key smaller than caps lock, awkwardly placed.
Lighted keyboard very good. Runs at least 6 hours on battery. Fast and very capable machine. Good value for the money.

Took a day trip to Winterplace (2 hr. drive for me). I was expecting something better. First of all, many of the trails were closed even though it had snowed 6+ inches just days before and their snowmaking had formed huge mountains of snow all along these closed trails. Seems to me that with a little grooming the entire mountain could (and should) have been open. Secondly, they need to turn off the snowmakers when it is no longer cold enough to make snow! It was 39 degrees on friday with full sunshine. It was raining underneath the snowmakers. No one enjoys skiing in the rain (especially on a clear day). Third, the lift lines were horrible, granted not all of the lifts were open. The main problem was no one was there to direct the line. Skiers just muddled their way toward the lift in one massive group, with most of the chairs going up the mountain only partially full. Lastly, the beginners there are out of control. Often in the lift lines someone would be standing on my skis or run over top of my personal skis. Thank god I don't have nice equipment (altough I still try to take good care of what I have). If you do have your own stuff, I would steer clear of Winterplace. I realize scratches are trivial, but the beginners are also dangerous. At a point were several trails merge/diverge there is a large crowd of people. One particuarly out of control skier was coming down a blue and tried to do a jump near the bottom. Needless to say, he didn't land so gracefully. And then procedded to skid through the crowd. They were falling/flying every which way just like bowling pins. A video of this would probably win on "america's funniest home videos" but it's not funny when you consider the permanent damage that could happen by breaking a bone or dislocating a knee. Sadly, this skier was allowed to continue. Anywhere else his lift ticket would have been clipped, end of story. So if you want to brave the few open trails, long lines, and rain remember watch out for other skiers!!

1 cup pumpkin??? as in cubes, pureed, baked or raw?? I used boiled cubed which melted down into small pieces. This was good and creamy! I also added cinnamon and nutmeg. Also up the salt.
OMG this was fantastic, I love risotto and I think this is one of the best recipes I have tried. I didnt have pine nuts but next will use them.
haven't made it yet, but sure plan to!! Looks great!

What's New in Version 3.0.1
Greetings, TEDsters! We hope you are having a good summer (or winter if you're on that side of the planet). We just got back from Banff, Canada and TED Summit 2016. We are going to be highlighting some of our favorite talks from Summit over the next few weeks, so be sure to check back daily. To help make your viewing easier, we've got a new release of the TED app for you.
Here's a few of the highlights from this month's release:
* The Popular Talks list should now have more fresh, dynamic content.
* Improved the readability and layout of the Talk Detail screen on the iPad. Your eyes will thank us.
* Fixed crash when turning off subtitles.
* Fixed issue where welcome screen would sometimes not disappear after finishing Inspire Me questionnaire. We were too welcoming apparently.
* Fixed formatting of talk duration on Talk Details screen for Arabic speakers.
* Fixed formatting of of minutes on the Inspire Me clock for Arabic speakers.
* Googlecast related strings should now show up as localized.
* We squashed a few smaller bugs and crashes as we always do.
We'd love to hear from you. If you run into any issues or have general feedback on our app, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We don't prompt you for a review in the app because we don't want to take away from your time with our speakers. However, if you are enjoying TED for iOS, please take a moment to rate and review us on the App Store. It really helps us out!
